Influencer Campaign Post-Mortem and Learnings Report

## CONTEXT
Most influencer campaigns end without a rigorous debrief, so the same mistakes repeat and the same wins go unsystematized. In 2026, mature teams treat the post-mortem as a knowledge asset: they quantify performance against goals, isolate which creators, hooks, and formats drove results, and convert findings into a reusable playbook. A good post-mortem is honest about failures, separates correlation from causation, and ends with concrete next-campaign actions. It also captures relationship learnings about which creators to renew or retire.
